Ghosts of Tabor

Ghosts of Tabor is an extraction shooter developed exclusively for virtual reality by Combat Waffle Studios. Players enter dangerous areas, collect equipment and try to reach an evacuation point. Anyone who fails in a mission risks the weapons they brought along and their loot. Armed AI opponents also fight on the maps alongside other players.

Early access since March 20, 2023 on PC and Meta Quest App Lab. On Feb 8, 2024, the Quest version moved to the regular store. The native Pico version came out in May 2024, the PlayStation VR2 version on May 6, 2025.

Ghosts of Tabor is out for PC VR via Steam, Meta Quest, Pico and PlayStation 5 with PlayStation VR2. On PS5, the VR2 headset and Sense controllers are required. SteamVR also supports various PC headsets, including devices from Valve, HTC and Meta. Their compatibility with the PC version does not make them separate native platform versions.

Before each raid, players assemble their equipment in the bunker. In the mission they search for valuable items, avoid enemy fire and decide when to leave the map. Only after a successful evacuation does the loot return to the shelter. The game combines precise shooting mechanics with a constant risk to your inventory.

For Ghosts of Tabor there are additional weapon, equipment and cosmetic packs as well as edition upgrades. These include the Nuclear Night Edition Upgrade and other themed weapon packs. They add to the base game but do not replace its standalone platform versions.

Steam lists Windows 10 or newer, a Core i5-6600K, 8 GB RAM, a GeForce RTX 2060 Super or RTX 3060 and 30 GB of free storage as minimum requirements. Recommended are a Core i7-7700K or better, 16 GB RAM, an RTX 3070 and 50 GB of storage. A VR headset with motion controllers and an internet connection are required.

Raids can be tackled alone or together in a group. A team can support each other when exploring and in firefights. Solo players have to be more careful, because they have no cover from teammates. Both playstyles face competing players and AI enemies.

Weapons, ammo, armor vests, medicine and other supplies only have lasting value if they are safely brought out of the mission. The decision to keep searching or to evacuate early is therefore central to the game. Better equipment increases possible rewards, but also the losses after a failed run.

Between missions, the bunker serves as storage and preparation room. Players can store weapons there, organize equipment and display their personal collection in the arsenal. The shelter links the individual raids together.

The combat system relies on direct grabbing and handling of equipment. Magazines are handled with motion controllers, weapons are reloaded and assembled in the bunker. Different weapon types and attachments allow varied approaches to close and long-range combat.

Traders offer equipment and supplies for new missions. Quests unlock additional goods. Trading, loot finds and crafting ammunition form a lasting part of progress alongside combat.

Key missions take place on Island of Tabor, Missile Silo and Matka Miest. They differ in size, lines of sight and spatial tightness. Open terrain favors observation over longer distances, while bunkers and buildings quickly lead to close-quarters fights.

Players on SteamVR, Meta Quest, Pico and PlayStation VR2 can play together across platforms. The PS5 version requires a PlayStation VR2 headset for this. Crossplay does not mean that all versions use the same store or the same technical requirements.

Dangers in missions come from other players and armed AI enemies at the same time. Anyone who avoids a group can still walk into an ambush. The interplay of human opponents, AI and limited supplies shapes every round.

Health, hunger and thirst affect survival. Food, water and medical items must be planned for on longer outings. Anyone who fills their backpack with only weapons may run into trouble when it comes to supplies.

On PC, Ghosts of Tabor supports seated, standing and room-scale VR play with motion controllers. The PlayStation version also offers seated and standing play, as well as roomscale. For free movement, Sony cites at least two by two meters of space.

Combat Waffle Studios develops Ghosts of Tabor. On Steam, the PC version is now published by Neem Interactive. The PS5 version will be released under Beyond Frames Entertainment. The change of publishing partner for further development was announced in August 2026.

Steam and PlayStation list English for voice audio and on-screen text. The shooter is built for online matches and supports cooperative play as well as battles between human teams.
